    This is strange.

    I am suddenly getting some strange errors which seem to involve string
    matching.

    When I type "l", look is invoked well.

    However, if there's an object lying around (happens to be called "screen"),
    and I type "l screen" or "look screen", I get this:

    #3:match (this == #84), line 1:  Verb not found
    ... called from #20:match_object, line 17
    ... called from #1:match_object (this == #84), line 3
    ... called from #3:l*ook (this == #84), line 11
    (End of traceback)

    However, if I pick up the object, it works.

    It comes down to this: If I type "look <object>" and object is not on me, I
    get the error.

    This has only happened recently, after I did some programming. The only verb
    I changed was $room:look_self(). And I added a verb called "ex" to $room.

    Any ideas?
